The night itself carved out is heart for her
but she only laughed, darkness spilling down her chin
glutted on its love
the night itself poured its soul out for her
but she only laughed, teeth stained black
from its offerings
the night itself bled dry for her
but she only laughed, hands coated in its
ebony ichor
//
the night soon learned the brutal nature of girls
but the girl never learned of the night's sorrow
only laughed and carried its gifts
as weapons
Cruelty carved into the edges of her soul
feed into being by the night's adoration
she was a daughter of darkness
and the night wept for its heir
